DriveClone’s hard drive cloning and imaging features allow you to quickly recover, replace, or upgrade your hard drive in case of any catastrophic data disaster. Your operating system, files and settings will appear exactly as they were when you duplicated or imaged your hard drive.
DriveClone Home offers two different types of backup: Complete Backup and File Backup.
Complete Backup:
Our most comprehensive backup. Back up your entire computer, including your operating system, programs, documents, music, photos, everything. Your hard drive is saved as a compressed image file, saving hard drive space.
File Backup:
Back up only the files you want to back up! Choose specific files or folders and back them up incrementally, saving both time and space.

How DriveClone Works
DriveClone clones an entire hard drive or a single partition by copying used data sectors from a source hard drive to a destination hard drive. If you need to clone to a larger hard drive, DriveClone lets you resize the partition(s) on the destination hard drive.
Cloning and imaging are done within Windows and do not require a system restart. All personal data, operating system files, settings, and configurations will be duplicated on the destination hard drive.
When DriveClone creates a complete backup image, it copies only used data sectors on a hard drive or selected partition and saves the data as a compressed image file. The image file can be stored on CD-DVD, on a network share, to external USB or FireWire hard drive, or to another hard drive within your computer.
When DriveClone incrementally updates a saved image, only changed data sectors are backed up. This reduces the file size of the backup image and and the time it takes to complete the incremental update.
